President of Awesomeness

During our trip to Williamsburg this past October, I was elected the President of Awesomeness by my son. Since then, I have been impeached several times with dark looks of defiance, but I am writing this to remind myself that at one time this year I was loved by the populace.  Though public opinion polls waver in and out of my favor everyday, I admit that I love my new roll.  This high office was bestowed on me when the side of my son that is loving, thoughtful and thankful realized his gratefulness for the time, energy and money it took to plan the spectacular field trip to our country's birthplace.    While walking back to our hotel from dinner one night, he stole a special moment to tell me thank-you in this special way.  Lamenting and fearing that there may not many more moments in life that he might cherish his time with me(since I mentioned that teenage boys often like to spend more time with pears than moms), he expressed in the best way he could how he felt about our relationship.  I will treasure my title of Presidential Awesomeness forever.
